초록
As the minimalism develops from the early 1990s, there arise many attempts, including Hornstein (1995, 1999) and Kitahara (1996), the eliminate QR (Quantifier Rasing), which has played a crucial role ein accounting for the scopal dependencies between the scope-bearing elements. This is becuase given the minimalist assumption that all movement be 'feature-driven,' QR lacks an independent motivation as a syntactic movement. On the other hand, arguing against such a stream, Kennedy (1997) and Fox (1995, 2000), among others, provide a variety of evidence, which shows that there exists QR on the basis of data with ACD (Antecedent-Contained Deletion) construction. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to provide an answer to each of the following questions: (1) what triggers QR?; and (2) what is the landing site of QR? For this purpose, I will argue as follows: (1) QR does exist, based on Kennedy's (1997) and Pesetsky's (2000) observation;' (2) QR is a kind of OS (Object Shift)-like syntactic movement, which is driven by [p]-feature of v* for satifying the single specifier requirement on v*1-spec or the multiple specifier requirement on v*m-spec; and (3) this kind of syntactic movement QR is regulated in terms of Chomsky's (2000, 2001) Phase Impenetrability Condition and Scope Economy adopted from Fox (2000).
Abstract
As the minimalism develops from the early 1990s, there arise many attempts, including Hornstein (1995, 1999) and Kitahara (1996), the eliminate QR (Quantifier Rasing), which has played a crucial role ein accounting for the scopal dependencies between the scope-bearing elements. This is becuase given the minimalist assumption that all movement be 'feature-driven,' QR lacks an independent motivation as a syntactic movement. On the other hand, arguing against such a stream, Kennedy (1997) and Fox (1995, 2000), among others, provide a variety of evidence, which shows that there exists QR on the basis of data with ACD (Antecedent-Contained Deletion) construction. In this sense, the aim of this paper is to provide an answer to each of the following questions: (1) what triggers QR?; and (2) what is the landing site of QR? For this purpose, I will argue as follows: (1) QR does exist, based on Kennedy's (1997) and Pesetsky's (2000) observation;' (2) QR is a kind of OS (Object Shift)-like syntactic movement, which is driven by [p]-feature of v* for satifying the single specifier requirement on v*1-spec or the multiple specifier requirement on v*m-spec; and (3) this kind of syntactic movement QR is regulated in terms of Chomsky's (2000, 2001) Phase Impenetrability Condition and Scope Economy adopted from Fox (2000).
